Jayden Myrick, who was arrested in the shooting last month, was “the big test case” for reforming juvenile offenders outside of adult prison, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Doris Downs told the teenager.


I guess he failed to mention to her that he didn't give a crap about juveniles being reformed outside of adult prison. That is a low down dirty shame to allow himself to mess that up for ALL juveniles that follow him.

While I don't know that the judge is a leftist, this was a leftist decision. And, note, she is an elected judge from Fulton County (90% of the City of Atlanta is in Fulton County), which gives 2/3 of its vote to the Dem presidential nominee every four years. Still, I'm not sure exactly how Fulton County elects judges (at a county level vs. a district level, etc.), so don't know for sure whether the judge is a leftist on the whole or just via this decision. Judging by this decision alone, however, I'd bet that she is a leftist.

Edit: given that this judge seriously considered challenging the Fulton County District Attorney (a Democrat serving in an overwhelmingly Democrat county), I think this is even more proof that she is a leftist. After all, I doubt that a conservative, incumbent judge would seriously mount a challenge in a general election (the challenge would likely be a primary challenge) in an overwhelmingly leftist Democrat county: https://www.ajc.com/news/local/downs...4OKJT2u2JIo4N/

It was incredibly naive of the judge to put so much trust into basically one woman who ran this small time operation that had no employees. She trusted that this teen would be monitored 24/7? Please, he's a teenaged gang banger, he is not gonna sit around someones house and watch TV.

“I’ve got your name etched in the back of my head,” the judge said. “I go to sleep at night and I’m wondering where you are and what you are up to … [The prosecutor] says we’ve made the mistake of a lifetime, and I’m hoping we’re right.”
Judge showed terrible judgement. Inexcusable.

The “judge” needs to be the next one tried for murder.

If the judge had performed the slightest research on the “rehab”, she would have deduced the woman and her sham organization was not fit to monitor and rehabilitate a felon. The website had been shut down, the owner’s son is a convicted felon, the owner has a long list of financial troubles including liens due to $33,000 in unpaid taxes, etc.

Near me a student brought a gun to school and open fire in a hall way, another student was injured by the bullet. Only a couple months in jail. Shooter ended up shot and paralyzed in a drug deal a couple months later.

I agree with you

Their love and compassion towards dangerous predators (and not the victims) is perhaps the most insidious part of liberalism.

If this judge is a Leftist and the parolee fatally shot her in the chest, bleeding-heart becomes literal in this case.
